We liked the first one so much, a 2019 SEL Premium R Line, that we traded it in on a 2022 SEL. My wife loves loves loves this car. She's not into the tech stuff, she just likes how easy it is to drive and how comfortable it is to ride in while still handling well. She routinely gets over 30mpg on average, including 35+ on the highway. My only complaint is that the ride is just a bit stiffer than I prefer. It was on our 2019 too, and when we replaced the tires we got some with a slightly larger sidewall and that made a world of difference....so we will do the same when the time comes on our 2022. I drive a LOT of rentals when traveling for work, and when I get home and drive this SUV I'm always saying I can't believe how much better I like it than other every other SUV I rent.

OK so I had a 2019 SE FWD Tiguan with the two tone golden oak interior that I traded in for the 2022 all-wheel-drive SEL RLine… There is no third row, there is air heated and cooled seating controls for the front driver and passenger, there is wave technology where you can just use your hand to wave it in front of the screen to get to the menu you are looking for, you can change the color of the interior lighting which I absolutely love because I’m a freaking toddler, and the fact that I can drive in snow or whatever with this vehicle without the third row seating… Makes me super excited because of SnowMageddon that happened in Texas… I absolutely love this car! It is fun to drive, fuel economy is pretty good, it beautiful in blue with the light gray interior, There are so many safety features I took my niece for her first driving lesson in this car a week after I got it in an empty parking lot and she did fantastic! It is a huge confidence builder for those that question their driving abilities. I love my car, I don’t miss the third row (it’s really not comfortable for adults anyway and with all wheel drive you do not get a third row), I love that the steering wheel has a heated feature because my hands are always freezing #Raynauds, The navigation and all the other features other than the charging that doesn’t go through my cell phone case… I love SUV. This is absolutely my favorite car, I have been a Volkswagen enthusiast since 2008… I feel like this is a grown-up version of all the things I love about VW.

Got myself a 22 SEL R LINE three weeks ago and have put a little over 1K on it. Coming from a 17 ALLTRACK S. Night and day difference, of course. Some initial observations: The seats in the SEL are great. Very comfortable. Have the ventilated option, and while certainly not a necessity, it is a really nice thing to have on these super hot days. The ride is comfy and quiet. It’s not a sports car, but feels like it could have been in a past life. It’s a great cruiser. There is plenty of room: dog, bike…whatever. Gas mileage is decent, not great. Yes the Haptic Touch controls kind of suck, but whatever. They work. There are allot of alerts that kick off when getting close to a curb, a bush, the car in front of you, the car behind you, and I turned most of them off. It’s just a little to overprotective. Get one, you’ll see. So, in summary, I really like my new car. It’s a great road trip car, fun around town, and most importantly for me, very comfortable. Pretty good!

Pretty exterior, but awful interior

The car looks beautiful. However, when it comes to technology and mechanics this car leaves something to be desired. The infotainment system often doesn't work at all. It freezes, it locks up, and no sound will play from the speakers. I've taken the car in for repairs endless times, and yet the infotainment system continues to malfunction. There's a known recall on the infotainment system. The brakes are extremely slow to react. Ultimately, I end up hard braking quite often. I worry I could potentially rear-end someone. In addition, there have been times I've attempted to switch the car into reverse. The car locks up, and won't move once you put your foot on the gas pedal. Also, something to note: Volkswagen will not give you a loaner vehicle if they need to keep your car in their shop for any malfunction. Sometimes they'll have car rentals available for purchase. However, if service needs to keep your car for an extended period, you'll be stuck without a vehicle (regardless if the issue is a manufacturing defect). This itself makes me feel undervalued as a customer. I would think twice prior to purchasing another Volkswagen.

Major Technology Issues

Major technology problems! Horrible VW Customer Service. The mechanics in this car leaves something to be desired. The infotainment system often doesn't work at all- it freezes, it locks up, and no sound will play from the speakers. I've taken the car in for repairs at least 4 times in the first 6 months of purchase! , and yet the infotainment system continues to malfunction. There's a known recall on the infotainment system. The brakes are extremely slow to react. Ultimately, I end up hard braking quite often. I worry I could potentially rear-end someone. In addition, there have been times I've attempted to switch the car into reverse. The car locks up, and won't move once you put your foot on the gas pedal. Also, something to note: Volkswagen will not give you a loaner vehicle if they need to keep your car in their shop for any malfunction. Sometimes they'll have car rentals available for purchase. However, if service needs to keep your car for an extended period, you'll be stuck without a vehicle (regardless if the issue is a manufacturing defect). This was our 3rd VW in 10 years and will never buy another
